Ulundhu vadai recipe
Ulundu Vadai Preparation Time : 10 mins + Soaking 1-2 hrs | Cooking Time : 25 Mins | Makes: 20 approx. Whole urad dal 1 cup Green chili 2-3 Ginger a small piece (optional) Salt as needed Asafoetida 2 pinches Curry leaves few Chinna vengayam 15 (optional) Oil for deep frying Method: Soak the urad dal for an hour . I usually add the green chillis while soaking. Drain the water completely. Normally wet grinder is most preferred for making ulundu vadai. While grinding the vadais do not add too much of water as we normally add while grinding idli dosa batter. Just sprinkle water. Else the vadas will drink too much of oil. Use ice cold water, it gives fluffiness to the vada batter and also lessens the heat generated by the mixie or grinder. Once the batter is done, take it out immediately from the grinder or mixie. Else the heat will make it harder. Just before making add salt. Add curry leaves and asafoetid
